I actually stopped on a dime for a horse-drawn wagon in Ohio of which two horses were pulling and a man leading them was riding in on my way to the State's Fair...
Horses and buggies are still the main form of transportation in the parts of Indiana such as Shipshewana which I frequently visit...
And, heck, outdoor lights are strung around vertical structures such as poles and trees using indoor two-prong extension cords and the lighting strips seemingly rated more for indoor use than what I can't imagine weathering winter conditions when such would be mainly lit, though I think these lights are on nightly year round...
Computers and phones, too, have evolutionized way beyond what mankind can imagine, though hairdly in mass ways the way automotive industry products are going to be expected to, no matter how many volumes of those there are in use...
There will always be a vehicle's carrying capacity and ability to maintain traction in various inclement conditions and often a proven ability to conquer both that will need to be developed at least there in what's heavy duty use...
Lastly when horses, oxen, mules and other animals were abandoned as regular use for transport, think of how fossil fuels were abundant and even easily refined when the automotive age finally came about and many who'd scorned, scoffed at or simply would not accept this change somehow easily and quickly adapted to this eternal stage...
And that's even doing the work involved in building, maintaining and providing the needed energy for, never thinking about any negative effects such as noise or pollution as much as enjoying the much obvious and positive advantage the progress of such offered, never looking back at the previous mode, and allowing this revolution in transit to go on for centuries...
Many improvements have and still come a long way, so harnessing a similar capability via a certain other source permanently as another standard seemingly needs to be as dramatically developed, and only time will tell how well and everlastingly permanent this change will be...
